God's Mandate

Fran tells the bible story of Noah's ark in a new and charming fashion. She tells of God's mandate and of His unveiling of His plans in poetry and delightful pictures. Her poem continues through the construction of the ark while Noah's neighbors think him crazy. A huge boat in the middle of dry land. She introduces us to a myriad of animals as they clamor aboard with Noah's family. The water begins to rise. The elephants stand guard at the door as the mice slip under the door. The goats butt their way through the assortment of sheep while Ferdinand the bull bellows and roars. For forty days and forty nights the rains came and came and then the glorious sun came out. Noah and his family lead the animals into a new and better world.
